The United States is going to play a scoundrel against China again!

I can't help but sigh that the United States is going to play a scoundrel against China again.

The goal this time?

Automobiles, electric vehicles, China's most shining industrial products right now.

The world's electric vehicles, except for Tesla in the United States, are now almost all from China.

In the face of China's electric car army, the Detroit Big Three have no temper, Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai are not competitive, and BBA is also sighing for itself.

But the United States is obviously in a hurry, although China's electric vehicles have not yet entered the American market.

According to Biden, the United States has decided to take "unprecedented action" on electric vehicles exported to China.

Why? Biden's reasoning was, "China is determined to dominate the EV market through unfair behavior, but I'm not going to let them do that." ”

"Connected vehicles from China may collect sensitive data about our citizens and infrastructure and transmit that data back to China," he added. These vehicles may be accessed remotely or malfunction. ”

What is unfair is actually a pretext.

Chinese Foreign Affairs Spokesperson Mao Ning respondedThe popularity of Chinese cars around the world is not due to so-called unfair practices, but to technological innovation and excellent quality formed in the fierce market competition.

What is not safe, in fact, is an excuse.

If this logic is followed, what will Tesla do in China? What about iPhones in China?

Even if it is a traditional car, there are many cars of GM, Ford, Cadillac, Lincoln and other brands on Chinese roads, and there are also a large number of electronic components in them, can they also transmit information? Is it possible to transmit the message of the Chinese to the United States?

Mao Ning refuted and said,China firmly opposes China's false accusation that China has purchased sensitive data of US citizens to engage in malicious activities and prohibits the flow of data to so-called "countries of concern", including China, which is clearly targeted at specific countries.

In fact, the most important knot in the United States is dominance.

It is the crown of American industry, how can Chinese cars be allowed to dominate?

Therefore, we have seen that the competitiveness is not enough, so let's make up for it, and play up the threat to the United States; Then smear and demonize Chinese goods, and in the end, it is a big stick wielded, heavy taxes, heavier tariffs, and even categorically refused.

Don't think the Americans can't do it.

Now the export tariff on Chinese cars to the United States has reached 275%, of which 25%, is from the Trump era, which has also caused Chinese cars to completely lose their competitiveness in the United States.

But the Americans felt that it was not enough.

I saw that Reuters reported thatU.S. lawmakers have introduced a bill to impose total tariffs on Chinese cars from the current $275% to 125%.

And, according to the Act,Chinese automakers are also subject to 100 percent tariffs on cars assembled in Mexico.

Why? According to these politicians, Chinese automakers are passing through Mexico, and soon there will be a wave of cars exported to the United States.

Scoundrel enough.

Finally, what to do?

Let's go three points.

First, be prepared for the United States to play a scoundrel.

In fact, this has nothing to do with Chinese products, and the root cause is the inner demons of the United States, no matter which party in the United States.

I remember that on January 22 this year, spokesman Wang Wenbin denounced the "paranoia of victimization" of American politicians as getting worse and worse.

He said angrily

I would like to ask these American politicians: Why do they blindly accuse China-related companies of threatening the United States without any evidence?

Why is the spearhead of the "U.S. threat" always pointed at China's leading companies in all walks of life?

Why does the U.S. coerce other countries to conduct research on Chinese companies even though they don't feel that Chinese products pose a threat?

For these American politicians, whatever China is advanced and what is a "threat", all measures must be taken to suppress it; Only the shirts and socks exported by China do not pose a threat to the United States ......

Second, we must not learn from the United States.

This is a point I would like to emphasize in particular. What I am most afraid of is that if you do this, the United States, then we will come and not be rude, and we will fight-for-tat.

Let's learn from the United States, so don't the American iPhones, Boeing's airplanes, Tesla's cars, Caterpillar's machinery, and all kinds of American software also pose a serious security threat to China and the world?

Are we all going to ban it too?

This can be a bargaining chip, but there is no need to close yourself off, because it will play into the hands of some Americans.

I always feel that we still have to be rational, calm, and open, because openness is the most powerful self-confidence, and continue to be strong in openness, so strong that you can't refuse.

The third point is that there is still a strategy for the game.

Scolding the United States? Now the faces of American politicians are thicker than bathtubs!

An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth? As mentioned earlier, it may be in the hands of the Americans.

Don't forget, after all, China is a global power, and we have a lot of leverage.

Let's not forget that many of the world's major issues, such as the climate crisis, energy security, war and peace, the drug epidemic in the United States, inflation, and so on, are inseparable from China's cooperation.

The United States, you can't expect China to rush to ask for cooperation while waving a big stick at us. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Of course, this requires a game, a masterful game.

The worse the environment, the more stubborn the enemy, the more scoundrels they do, and the more they test the level of the game, the more they can become world-class diplomats.

But I also always have a feeling that the United States, which used to be a benchmark for opening up, is now becoming more and more conservative, more and more closed, and more and more populist scoundrelsChina, in this regard, don't learn from the United States!
